FairyTailNut: Jaden is the Supreme King. The POINT is that he uses Evil Heroes.

Jaden - 4000

Shadow Rider - 4000

Jaden's Field:

Evil Hero Malicious Fiend (Attack Mode)

3500

Elemental Hero Clayman (Defence Mode)

2000

One card facedown

"I play the spell card "Alchemic Kettle - Chaos Distil"." The Shadow Rider spoke as a large bronze like kettle/distil was summoned to the field.

'What does that do?' Jaden thought darkly, his anger forming an aura of shadows around him and made his eyes glow gold

"I'll play a card faced down and activate the spell card: Steel Lamp. This card allows me to summon "Alchemy Beast - Salamandra the Steel" from my deck." The Shadow Rider spoke and a metallic small dragon to his field

Salamandra the Steel

Level 3

FIRE

500 ATK/ 500 DEF

"An Alchemy Beast?" Jaden wondered

"Yes Jaden. You are facing a fellow Alchemist!" The rider nodded

"Then what does Salamandra do?" Jaden asked

"I'll get to that in a moment. Next, I play the spell card: Alchemic Samples. This continuous spell card allows me to bring one monster from my deck that has the same attribute as your monsters once per turn." The Shadow Rider added

"Go ahead." Jaden frowned

"I choose your Malicious Fiend." The Shadow Rider spoke and gained a FIRE type monster to his hand. "And now I attack your life points directly with Salamandra!"

"I'm sorry... What?" Jaden blinked

Salamandra stretched out its neck and shot out a blast of fire at Jaden directly.

"You see, my monster can attack directly." The Shadow Rider said as Jaden was encased in smoke but when the smoke cleared... Jaden was unharmed.

Then in the blink of an eye Malicious Fiend charged and slashed Salamander in half

Shadow Rider

4000 - 1000

"WHAT?!" the Shadow Rider gasped

"Malicious Fiend's effect." Jaden grinned evilly "All monsters you control must attack Malicious Fiend if they are able, no argument."

"Damn it!" The Shadow Rider frowned and removed Salamandra from play.

"Why isn't it going to the graveyard?" Jaden frowned

"If you're wondering about my monster; it is due to my Chaos Distil. All my cards are removed from play instead of the graveyard." The Shadow Rider answered

Jaden drew a card, looking at his hand "Tell me. Where are my friends?" Jaden growled

"Away, Jaden...They've gone away. As a sacrifice for the Sacred Beasts." The Shadow Rider answered

Jaden was silent...

...

...

And then the darkness increased its power, swirling around Jaden like a vortex and destroying the Shadow Rider's base

"Grr...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jaden roared as the darkness erupted like a volcano, destroying the Abandoned Dorm in the process and erupting like a geyser

*with the writers*

"HOLY SHIT!" Catherine called out

"Jaden's anger over Amnael getting his friends has made him go Super Saiyan!" Ghost added

"Do not make the wielder of darkness mad. Anger can lead to darkness becoming stronger." Grey said wisely "... But if he suddenly starts chanting 'Hitotsuni', or 'we will become one, then I'm out."

*Back to the story*

"YOU!" Jaden's eyes glowed a furious amber yellow. "BRING THEM BACK!"

The four spirit girls looked at him in worry but they couldn't interfere here

"I warned you Jaden...Your anger will be your downfall." The Shadow Rider spoke and then brought out a book. "This."

"What?" Jaden asked as his darkness started to descend.

"This is where your friends are...Inside my tome. Should you win, they will be returned to you." The Shadow Rider answered

"Then I'll win." Jaden said simply "I activate Dark Fusion."

"What will you fuse together?" The Shadow Rider asked

"I'll fuse my Malicious Fiend with Granmarg the Mega Monarch!" Jaden called, the darkness swirling around him powerfully "Come forth! Evil Hero Dark Gaia!"

'Damn it!' The Shadow Rider gasped in shock. His defence was going to be worthless.

Evil Hero Dark Gaia

Level 8

EARTH

? ATK/ 0 DEF

"And due to Dark Gaia's ability, his attack is the combined amount of both monsters used in the fusion!" Jaden added

"No!" The Shadow Rider gasped

Evil Hero Dark Gaia

0 - 5900

"F-Fifty nine hundred attack points?!" He gasped

"Thanks to Dark Fusion: Dark Gaia is immune to all spell, trap and monster effects." Jaden growled "Now! Dark Gaia! Attack!" He roared

The Shadow Rider frowned...And received the full force of Dark Gaia's attack and obliterating the mask off the Shadow Rider and causing him to be flown into the wall.

Jaden panted and glared at the Shadow Rider and walked to him.

It... It was Professor Banner!

"P-Professor Banner?" Jaden gasped

Banner coughed a bit and smiled. "Hello, Jaden...I...Imagine...That you're surprised...?"

"Half surprised...I mean...You DID disappear before all this...But...WHY?" Jaden responded

"You see Jaden, I am an old Alchemist." Banner explained "At the time Pegasus found the ancient glyphs of the Egyptian Gods and lead to the creation of duel monsters, I was on my own expedition. And I found them... The Sacred Beasts. I began researching them, I was obsessed. So much so that I began to waste away, I began to die. So using alchemy I created this body! The body you have known all year! However it is only temporary. And as I am dying, I am returning a favour and became the final Shadow Rider. But there was another reason."

"What other reason? Professor...Was all this...A facade?" Jaden frowned.

"The final reason was to test you." Banner explained "We are both Alchemists. And so I must test you! Before I die we will know who the greatest alchemist is!"

"Then...Professor...What was the outcome?" Jaden asked sadly. "After all I just attacked you with Dark Gaia. You've lost."

"You would think that." Banner smiled, taking a card out of his banished zone... AKA his pocket. A familiar fluffball

"Kuriboh." Jaden's eyes widened, the darkness around him gone and his glowing eyes back to normal. Only not completely. Instead of gentle gold they had grown since his childhood... They where the gentle brown he was born with

"It appears I overestimated you Jaden." Banner said, drawing a card

"Professor...What do you mean?" Jaden asked in worry.

Before he noticed it... He'd slipped from the gentle darkness!

"N... No!" He whispered in shock as he felt how... Cold his body was. How weak he felt. He tried finding the darkness again, just like how he taught Alexis: how he was taught. But his emotions where too wild

His anger, hatred, fury...All of them were burning inside him

His sadness. His feelings of betrayal. They were stopping him from grasping a hold of the darkness. The darkness increased want trusting him.

He was by himself

'Jaden...' Yubel and the girls whispered going to Jaden.

"My turn." Banner reminded

"What?" Jaden asked

"It...It's my turn now..." Banner smiled

"Oh... Right." Jaden nodded, calming down

Banner stood up, looking at his hand before he continued his turn

"I play the spell card Foolish Burial, removing from play a monster from my deck because of my spell banishing all cards in my graveyard." Banner explained "Then I play a card facedown and end turn."

"Draw!" Jaden called, drawing "Dark Gaia, attack!" Jaden called quickly

"Hurrrr." His monster growled gently, forming a fireball above him

"Trap, activate. Mirror Force." Banner said simply

"No!" Jaden covered himself as his monster was destroyed by Banner's trap card.

"I... I end turn with a face down."

"My turn Jaden." Banner drew his card. "I play the spell card: Chaos Greed. This card only works if I have four or more cards removed from play and no cards in my graveyard. This means I can draw two new cards."

Jaden nodded, letting him do that. He felt flustered, unsure. He was not use to this.

"I play the spell cards: Tin Spell Circle, Mercury Hourglass and Bronze Scale! To special summon Ouroboros the Bronze, Aretos the Tin and Ekenas the Mercury!"

Ekenas the Mercury

WATER

Rock

500 ATK/ 500 DEF

Ouroboros the Bronze

LIGHT

Rock

500 ATK/ 500 DEF

Aretos the Tin

Wind

Rock

500 ATK/ 500 DEF

Ekenas was a silvery winged fish like creature, Ouroboros was a dark bronze serpent and Aretos was a muted silvery bird creature.

"Oh no..." Jaden gasped

"And now I attack three times." Banner ordered

"I activate Negate Attack!" Jaden called, using the trap he set on his first turn

"Hmm." Banner hummed as he saw Jaden learning. "I end my turn."

"I draw." Jaden spoke

He looked at his hand, trying to take calming breaths

'Wh-What am I gonna do?' He thought, but...He was shaking...Not from adrenaline...But from fear.

He couldn't see the combos of his cards. He couldn't see how this deck was suppose to flow! He didn't know what to do!

His eyes widened. He was in an endless white, his cards going farther and farther away as he reached for them "No!" He called, his voice echoing "Come back!"

But then he felt a red gloved hand clasp his outstretched hand, Jaden looking to see Mana standing there with a smile

'Jaden...It's okay. We're here for you.' Mana reassured him.

As if on cue, Berenice took hold of his other hand

'We're not giving up on you.' Berenice added

Not even a second later Cleo's arms wrapped around him from behind

"Cleo..." Jaden's eyes started to water a little

'Jaden...' Yubel wrapped her arms around her lovers.

Soon, one by one, his monsters spirits began to appear

His Elemental Heroes, his Evil Heroes, Winged Kuriboh, his family of duel monsters stood by him.

"Guys..." He whispered, crying gently

Banner looked on and smiled at Jaden. Because, unknown to Jaden, Banner could see Duel Spirits himself.

Soon the light faded, revealing Jaden standing there with his eyes closed. His deck was in place and everything was okay

"I activate my face down, Strategic Retreat. Both of us return all cards in our hands to our decks, shuffle, and draw five." Jaden said with his eyes closed, returning his hand to his deck and letting it automatically shuffle

"Interesting." Banner nodded, doing the same "Resetting the game, in a way."

Jaden was silent as he gently put his hand on his deck, his thumb brushing over the cards until he held his new hand "..." He was silent, taking a few calm breaths as he stood still. And then his eyes opened, glowing gold "DRAW!" he called, drawing the cards with the five cards leaving a small golden glow behind them

'Jaden...You've gotten it.' Banner thought drawing his own cards.

"I play Polymerization!" Jaden called, shocking Banner at the basic spell card "I use this to fuse together the Yubel and Elementals Hero Neos in my hand! Come in out, Neos Wiseman!"

Neos Wiseman

LIGHT

Level 10

3000 ATK/ 3000 DEF

"Incredible..." Banner gasped seeing Jaden's monster

"Go Neos Wiseman! Neos Demon Eye!" Jaden called, Neos' single sideways eye glowing

Neos Wiseman

3000

Ouroboros the Bronze

500

"Take out his monster!" Jaden called put

Neos Wiseman fired his eye beam, the blast of red light racing at the monster

Banner smiled and blasted Ouroboros into dust and dropping Banner's life points to zero.

Banner

1000 - 0

"Now my Wiseman's effect gives me life points equal to the DEF of your monster." Jaden added for formalities, putting his cards away

Jaden

3500 - 4000

"Of course." Banner smiled

Before he collapsed to his knees

"Professor!" Jaden raced to him

He caught him, Banner smiling weakly

"It's alright Jaden...I told you...this body is decaying...Give...Give this to Joel...To help with his alchemy." Banner handed his tome to Jaden. "But now...Open it...You'll free Alexis, Syrus and Jazz..."

"Professor." Jaden whispered

"Jaden. The leader of the Shadow riders, the favour I owed... He was the one who funded the expedition that lead to the discovery of the Sacred Beats." Banner explained "You are ready... This was all a test. I agreed to be a Shadow Rider so I would be your last test. To make sure you where strong enough to defeat him. And Jaden... I'm proud of you."

With that Banner turned into dust and dissolved quickly, all that left where his cloths that hung loosely in Jaden's hands

"Professor...Banner..." Jaden frowned as he had his now deceased professor's clothes in his hands. He looked at the tome Banner had given him and opened it.

Light erupted from the tome and from it three spheres of light emerged, first floating in the air and then gently falling to the ground, revealing: Alexis, Syrus and Jazz.

"Guys!" He called, running over and holding Alexis "Alexis, wake up!"

"Hmm...Oh...J-Jaden?" She looked up at him with glazed over eyes.

"You're okay." He sighed, holding her close

"Jaden..." She sighed happily and hugged back.

"Urgh...That...was bad..." Jazz grumbled as she held her head.

"Urp! E-excuse me..." Syrus burped a little from feeling his body being brought from two different planes of existence.

"It's okay." Jaden sighed with a smile

'SYRUS!' Dee called out and hugged her boyfriend, crying in joy to see him back.

"Dee!" He smiled, holding her close

'Jazz!' The three OjamaMasters called out going to Jazz.

"Guys!" Jazz answered, being hugged by her three lovers.

"What happened?" Syrus asked

"We faced the last Shadow Rider. I...I beat him." Jaden answered

"Nice one Slacker." Jazz lightly joked

"Who...Who was it? We never saw him without the mask." Alexis asked

"It..." Jaden spoke then looked at the clothes. "He was no-one. A mercenary for whoever was doing this."

Jaden lied. He had lied to his friends...For the memory of Professor Banner.
